Hope
03 April 2014
Hope begs,
unaccustomed to No,
refuses to accept
Because I Said So …
against my better judgment,
despite my resolve,
exasperated, I give in,
more often than I should.
And Hope gets spoiled,
believing she is entitled,
that she will always
get what she wants.
I hope Hope grows up,
meets Reality, and they live
happily ever after,
but …
jungle
03 April 2014
densely
lush, overgrown,
and mostly unexplored,
like the deepest, darkest jungle –
my mind.
beauty,
mixed with terror,
strangely symbiotic,
in ways I’ll never understand
fully.
treasures
waiting to be
found or rediscovered;
if I’m lost, I’ll leave my words to
follow.
incantations
03 April 2014
I will learn,
truly find my own power,
planted long ago,
in the soil
of a future sanctuary.
nurtured by
the perils of trial and error,
my teeth cracked,
chewing on the mystery
and the magic of language –
incantations of a sorcerer.
(inspiration from 1sojourner)
well
02 April 2014
I could have been
your wishing well,
endlessly deep,
yet clear, sweet.
You could have
closed your eyes,
and given me
all your unspoken wishes,
dreams, and soul.
Oh well …
you’re hurting
02 April 2014
You’re hurting,
doesn’t need to be announced,
or explained, it’s irrelevant,
who or what,
and why.
you’re hurting,
I don’t need to argue or blame,
defend myself,
or attack you,
or even try to fix it.
all that matters,
right now,
in this moment,
is you’re hurting
and I am here for you.
maybe that’s why
02 April 2014
sometimes you see in me
what I myself do not believe
but I too see in you
what you yourself still doubt is true
to see the best inside
maybe that’s why there’s you and I
of falling
02 April 2014
when I fell for you,
I never fell far enough,
to not feel the pain.
Maybe I’m afraid of heights,
or just the pain of falling.

shopping’s
been reduced
to essentials,
just getting what I need –
boring.
